Hardcode txqueuelen in initscripts

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: I'm looking for a way to hardcode the txqueuelen per interface using the normal scripts. Based on the current scripts I don't think it is possible so we have to do that post-boot (/etc/rc.d/rc.local). Would a patch to allow changing the txqueuelen from ifcfg-<dev> be accepted or is there some other way to have this setting hardcoded ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. . 2. 3. Additional info:
As an addendum to this feature request, I also need to set the media (100Mbit, Full-duplex) per interface. So it would be nice if also the media could be forced using variables in ifcfg-eth0. Sadly some modules don't allow this as a module-parameter, eg. tg3. An option in ifcfg-eth0 that uses mii-tool or ethtool would help. PS I also think it's better to have the per-interface configuration in one place (ifcfg-eth0) than several places (ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/modules.conf or /etc/rc.d/rc.local). If this would be accepted for a next RHEL3 update release, I'm willing to do the scripting.
Media can be done with ETHTOOL_OPTS.
At this point, a feature like this won't be added to RHEL 3. For later releases, this could be done in a variety of ways, including ifup-local, udev scripts, and other mechanisms.
